Mid-Atlantic Urban Agriculture Summit

Welcome to the first Mid-Atlantic Urban Agriculture Summit! The Summit, which will be held virtually. This Summit will bring together urban farmers, gardeners, foodies, agtivists, policy makers and government leaders for three days of virtual networking and learning about one of agriculture’s fastest growing sectors.

This event, formerly known as the Virginia Agriculture Summit, was launched five years ago and continues to grow both in breadth and scope. New in 2021, organizers at Virginia Cooperative Extension and other partners have extended it to the entire Mid-Atlantic region to facilitate the sharing of even more knowledge and experiences.

The theme of the summit is “Creating Healthy Communities through Urban Agriculture”. The topics of discussion will include Urban Agriculture and Food Security; Innovations in Urban Agriculture Business, Technology, and Policy; and Urban Community Gardening.
